Off-road test! 2023 SsangYong Musso review: XLV Ultimate | Is Korea's 4WD pick-up adventure-ready?

Australian buyers have been clamouring for a new dual-cab ute from Hyundai and Kia for years, but there's already a South Korean pick-up on the market: the SsangYong Musso.

In recent times, SsangYong has made headlines for his its ownership challenges, but they're now out of the way, so it's time to remind ourselves how its current models stack up in a highly competitive market. And the Musso has a tall task ahead of it, facing opposition from the best-selling Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

But in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist and adventure specialist Marcus Craft puts the Musso's flagship XLV Ultimate variant through its paces on-road and off-road to see if it's able to combine affordable pricing with genuine touring capabilities. The results may surprise you, so much so that the Korea's number-three car brand might end up on your short list.
